Berlin Dom

L’arte del mosaico che ridà luce alla storia

In the heart of Berlin, the majestic dome of the Cathedral shines once again, brought back to life by the brilliance of mosaic art.

After decades of silence, the reopening of the Berlin Cathedral in 1993 marked the rebirth of one of Europe’s greatest sacred architectural masterpieces — a place where art, faith, and memory intertwine in a timeless dialogue.

Although the Cathedral reopened in 1993, reconstruction continued for several years. By 1999, the colorful altar windows were recreated following Anton von Werner’s historic designs, in a process remarkably faithful to the original techniques once employed by Luce Floreo.

The Hohenzollern family crypt, once private property of the royal dynasty, was damaged during the war but later restored and opened to the public in 1999.

The precious stone mosaics, reconstructed with the help of Italian experts up to 2002, once again radiate spiritual light. The golden cross, a symbol of rebirth and faith, was reshaped and placed atop the dome in 2007, shining like a beacon over the city.

Every reflection tells the story of hands that turn glass into light and gold into spirituality.

For Mosaici Donà Murano, contributing to the Cathedral’s restoration means not only preserving a masterpiece but also renewing a bond between Venice and Berlin — between Italian artistry and European grandeur.
